Pawn
How does a pawn loan work?
First of all, what is a pawn? A pawn is essentially a loan that you take out on your personal items in return for immediate cash.
Now we’ll explain how pawn loans work. You can bring any item of value into one of our 14 locations in Florida. Our experienced pawnbrokers will then make a free competitive appraisal based on the real market value and conditions of your item.
If you accept our offer, you’ll sign and fingerprint a pawn transaction. This means you will have 60 days to redeem your merchandise. To redeem, all you have to do is return to the store in which you originally pawned your item, and pay the monthly flat rate fee + principal.

Gold, Precious Stones, & Luxury Items
How do you determine the price of gold?
The price of gold fluctuates constantly depending on global prices. It also depends on the purity of your gold. 24k is pure gold, so this of course will get the highest amount. 18k, 14k and 10K are a mixture of gold and other metals such as silver and copper and are therefore less pure and less valuable.
At Queen of Pawns we are equipped with state-of-the-art technology which allows us to identify the purity of your gold without damaging your jewelry. Bring your gold in for a free appraisal!

How do you determine the price of diamonds?
Our pricing is determined by size, cut, clarity, carat, and color.
Do pawn shops take scrap gold? Do pawn shops take broken jewelry?
Yes to both! The value of gold depends on the purity of the gold and also on its weight. Even if your jewelry is broken, you can still pawn it or sell it.
How much money can I get for selling or pawning my gold? How much does QOP pay per Karat?
The price of gold is not fixed, it varies depending on the international market. At QoP, you get the most for gold. The amount you receive for your gold will depend on the current global price of gold, how pure it is, and how heavy it is.
